Retrofit USB/AUX in centre console

nn42day · 08-09-2016, 10:46 AM

Hi all, just bought a 2009 LCI E90 320D.
I would like to playback music from my iPhone 6.
Car is fitted with CIC satnav and Bluetooth.

Centre console only has AUX connector. would like to replace this with USB\AUX socket.

Do I just need to get a new socket with USB\AUX or do I need to run additional cables as well?

Would appreciate any further advice and guidance, especially a how-to guide.

many thanks

Do you have idrive or pro radio ?
check to see if you have a mulf module in the trunk
under the trunk floor on the drivers side in the UK.
Start reading the threads on Mulf modules if
you want to do a OEM retrofit for USB.

If you want to go aftermarket there is the Dension gateway 500s bt,
or the mobridge equivalent.
Search for the thread on the Dension and Mulfs.

Also in the UK contact this guy
